answer:Yes, rejection has made me stronger and has taught me about myself. I feel that I have become tougher because of it. Not all of it matters to me as much as it used to, although there are still some things I’m afraid of. I’m talking about being rejected when it comes to being someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend, though, not those other things. There was a point when I realized that not everyone who rejects me hates me. It is quite possible that they like me and are perfectly fine with me for the most part, but just don’t view me as girlfriend material because I am not what they are looking for in a girlfriend. What made me realize this? I have rejected guys…. guys I was totally cool with… guys I didn’t hate…. guys I found alright… guys I had fun talking to… guys I even liked, but I didn’t like them like that. I didn’t view it as fair to lead them on. What have I learned? A guy might not be interested in being with me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he views me as a bad person. What do I do now? I don’t view it as rejection as much as I view it as “He’s not interested in being with me.” I don’t need to cry myself to sleep at night. I don’t need to stop eating my food. I don’t need to sulk around. I don’t need to mope. “Rejection” happens to us all, and it’s not always a bad thing. It can even be a gift, whether we recognize that or not.
